re: what are the greatest southern novels of all time?

Wiseblood.

But I’m a fan of southern-goth.

Huge fan of O'Connor, but I think her best work is her short fiction.

A lot of good ones in this thread, some others I really like:

Geronimo Rex by Barry Hannah
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston
Color Purple by Alice Walker
Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons
Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver (okay, it's Virginia... but it still feels Southern)
A Feast of Snakes by Harry Crews
Water from the Well by Myra Mclarey
